Saltaire catch-up with Sal

It had seemed like an eternity since I had last been out with Sal. Our circumstances dictated that we had to stay apart and our only contact had been through the internet and the odd phone call. As some of the lockdown restrictions had eased, we decided to bite the bullit and see each other whilst still abiding by the social distancing guide line.

Sal rode her bike along The Leeds-Liverpool Canal towpath and we met in Saltaire. I bought us a couple of takeaway coffees and a pasty each and we went in to Roberts park to scoff them and have a natter. It was fabulous to see her again but felt so strange to be having to keep 2 metres apart. We caught up with all our news and gossip and then had a short walk through the park and on as far as the weir on the River Aire.

By then it was rather miserable and raining quite heavily so we reluctantly agreed to go our seperate ways and also agreed to meet up again and maybe have a walk in either Myrtle Park or even go up to St Ives which we both had missed.

A morning of mixed emotions with both happiness and sadness. One thing is for sure though, it was ace to see her again.
